Helen Fox Angell letters to Bess Peebles Fox, July 1944-April 1945

1944-10-07 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 1

Oct 7, 1944
Dear Mother,
Just a hodge-podge note tonight as I'm tired from the Saturday night party in the lounge.  I was in charge of it tonight, and it was packed.  The one at the officers club had no appeal for me after that so I've had a hot bath and changed my bed and am going to sleep soon.
Box number eleven and letter thirty four came a day or so ago.  My, how nice!  I love the box of Jalva and the good cheese and cheese crackers.  Also the candy peanuts.  I've read all the clippings & letters and Iowans, too.  Interesting.
By the way, Jay and I played some casino the night the packages came.  If I won I was to ask her husband for anything I wanted and if I lost, I was to ask you for another package of Jalva for her.  I lost, so please, will you send me another package of Jalva?
I had more fun on my way home from Glasgow.  I guess my letter stopped there didn't it?
First I sat with two very interesting and pretty American civilian girls who are technicians with the Army somewhere and had been on leave in Scotland on

Saving...
